Not so much fog today, thankfully but it felt cold.
We were going for ‘the messages’ today. We had considered going to Waitrose in Stirling, but neither of us really needed anything from there, so we settled on Tesco instead. Scamp knew what we needed and it could all be purchased from Tesco. I needed petrol for the car and Tesco was the cheapest. Choice made we drove to Tesco. Half an hour later we left the supermarket with four full bags of messages. Most of it fairly essential. The car got the full tank of petrol it needed and we drove home for lunch.
After lunch I went for a walk in St Mo’s. Although it was only about about 2pm when I went out, the light was already disappearing. That’s what happens in Scotland on the last day of November, St Andrew’s Day. We’ve another three or so weeks of the days getting shorter before the swing into spring starts. That’s a long way off for us up north.
The definite brightener was the Berberis plant I saw on my way back home. Those bright orange leaves really shine on the dull days we’ve been enduring recently. That photo got PoD. I think I need to get out early now to get some decent light on any subject I point my camera at. If it’s not taken by midday, it’s a struggle to get anything decent.
Dinner tonight was bolognese sauce with Pappardelle pasta. The pasta is quick to cook and holds the sauce really well. Scamp had bought a new jar of bay leaves this morning and the difference is made was incredible. The bolognese sauce had so much more taste. Scamp had an omelette.
We watched the Portrait Artist of the Year final tonight and of course, neither of our choices won. That’s what usually happens.
Tomorrow we’re intending going to the Christmas tea dance. Now I’ve got to find my “Bah Humbug!” hat.
